This blog charts the journey of a heart exiled from the message of Christ by the patriatial church. It examines the emotional and spiritual consequences of such exile and the ways in which own can return to what we in Ireland refer to as the Homeplace.

For my burfday a soul friend bought me a deck of cards. This was a deck called "The Christian Prayer Deck." Each day I am invited to shuffle these cards and select one. This morning the selected card read:-

This is a lovely invitation but the last line is not, to this writers thinking good psychology. Repression of many wandering throughts tends to push them into the very darkness of the heart which Thomas A Kempis is asking to avoid.

You are not going to become a clear shining light through the repression of your many wandering thoughts. The wandering throughts are to be silenced but not repressed. It is through silence that the mind becomes still and you create a heart space where you can be still and know the pressence of I AM.

Simply witness the wandering thoughts without repression or indulgence and the mind will begin to become still and there is then the invitation to be and to express the beauty of your at one ment with the clear shining light of the One Mind.
